Junior Ontario Hockey

I read that the League has changed some on-ice rules this season. They include hybrid icing, which I'm not 100% what that means, 4 on 4 for coincidental penalties, puck out of play in end zone regardless of who caused it faceoff stays inside, after icing and penalties non offending team can choose ...

With the 519 Sports collaboration, the league now has a YouTube channel for news and highlights this coming season.

Again, shouldn't you know what's going on? I would think a person in your position should have more information that I do. I've heard the rumours, I heard them all of last season. I thought the BIG announcement was going to be it, but it was about the re-alignment. I am trusting the process and hop...

The league continues to make announcements in the re-shaping of the GOJHL. New Commissioner Craig Spada announced this morning.

A new Rockets era is beginning in Strathroy. There's an owner and a new GM.

Oh I heard the complaints from Fort Erie fans after the 2nd period, and then read all about how a select few from St. Marys felt the refs were terrible and that they missed so many calls, including icings and off-sides, and 'it was the worse officiating they had ever seen'. I still don't get how yo...

I find this strange, but apparently someone is purporting to be part of the GOJHL and trying to get an expansion team.

I'm wondering if it has to do with this?

Honestly, I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I got to 4 and had limited choices. I kept flipping LaSalle and Strathroy before settling on where I did. I'm a little disappointed that I gave credit to Komoka to not be 8th. I knew that London and St. Marys would be at the top, the Nats alwa...

1. St. Marys
2. London
3. Strathroy
4. LaSalle
5. Chatham
6. St. Thomas
7. Komoka
8. Sarnia

I didn't do too bad in my predictions. Both 1 & 2 and 7 & 8 are flipped.

I had a debate with someone over the weekend as to who the worst team in the league is, Caledon or Komoka. What do you think and why is it Komoka?

https://www.chathamdailynews.ca/sports/local-sports/maroons-try-to-erase-stigma-of-seeking-mental-health-help-2 I just read this article and needed to share it. The Maroons participated in videos surrounding seeking mental health help this past week. I know I've ragged on Chatham before, it's one o...

Collins Clothiers sponsors the monthly awards, so what else do you expect them to give? For many years, Strathroy's Player of the Month award was sponsored by Poag's Jewellers and they received a very fancy watch. I'm sure they didn't need it, and could have used a gift card for London Source for S...

Well, back in the summer, St. Thomas announced their coaches for this season and Mike was listed as an assistant coach. A few weeks later, London announced him as head coach, and I went back because I thought he was with St. Thomas, and they had updated their post to remove him from the announcemen...

The first rankings they released was the top 5 teams in the league. Last week's rankings was top 5 powerplays.

For whatever reason, they are only being released on social media and not on the actual website.

Tickets for the Showcase are available online or at the door in Elmira. If you're buying at the door, it's cash only. I'll be there all 3 days, wearing my Lincolns and Rockets sweater, so come by and say hi! I'm not as scary or terrible as some have made me out to be. https://www.gojhl.ca/2022-show...

But if I was Commissioner, you'd be mad, posting that I can't run the league, how can a woman run a Jr hockey league, how I don't have the qualifications, and how nobody likes or respects me, so how do I expect to make a difference.....blah blah blah It doesn't matter who's in charge, you guys won'...

Why is it when I have an opinion that differs from yours, I'm wearing rose coloured glasses? I defend the Rockets, 'RG take off your rose coloured glasses', I defended GOJHL Inc., 'RG take off your rose coloured glasses', now I'm defending Tim Simmons, 'RG take off your rose coloured glasses'. I wa...

Simmons never played, never coached, never involved in anything higher than Jr B hockey........ What does that have to do with anything? I've never played hockey, I don't even know how to skate. I've never coached, I've never scouted, I've never been more than a puck bunny according to some, doesn'...
